Friday’s performance was Cyrus’s first full headlining show in years and opened two sold-out concerts.

Cyrus said she had stopped touring because it harmed her mental health; the engagement was intended to mark her return.

During several major hits, including “Wrecking Ball” and “The Climb,” she left vocal passages to the audience and backup singers.

Variety reported that after debuting at No. 1, the album recorded the biggest second-week drop in Billboard 200 history.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: vice.com

“Carnaval De Luz” is scheduled for November 13, 2026, as U2’s 16th studio album and first new material since 2017.

The first single, “Street Of Dreams,” arrived July 7 with a Mexico City video; “Silencio” followed on September 24.
